Chapter 182 Overwhelming

Faced with the densely packed drones, the attacking fleet, which was originally full of morale, immediately slowed down and stopped.

For these captains of the Commercial Alliance, they had never seen so many drones in their lives, let alone fighting with so many drones.

Fortunately, Zhou Can only lost consciousness for a short time and immediately ordered the fleet to gather the formation and concentrate all anti-aircraft firepower to deal with the drone attacks.

Even so, the sudden change in the battlefield situation made the captains of the Commercial Alliance gradually lose the confidence to resist.

Hundreds of thousands of drones rushed towards the fleet of the Commercial Alliance fearlessly.

The dense anti-aircraft firepower consumed the number of drones all the time, but it still could not stop the drones from gradually approaching the fleet.

In addition, after Qi Yiming used the drone as a killer, he also commanded the fleet to follow the drones and attack the enemy.

Qi Yiming only had a hundred or so warships left, but most of them were cruisers. Although they were not as powerful as battlecruisers, the precise allocation of the Wise Man maximized the role of these warships.

Each attack by Qi Yiming's fleet could sink several warships in key positions, opening up a route for the drones to attack.

A large number of drones gradually infiltrated the fleet of the Commercial Alliance through the route they opened, and the drones that did not rush into the fleet began to cruise around the enemy fleet.

From time to time, thousands of drones would suddenly break away from the fleet and pounce on a warship.

Using their own numerical advantage to completely wrap a warship inside, thousands of laser generators with low power but capable of causing damage to the opponent began to work.

Thousands of red lasers created deep cracks on the outer armor of the surrounded warships, and as time went on, the cracks became more and more.

Slowly, the outer armor was peeled off from the warship by the drones, and then the internal structure of the warship. A warship wrapped by drones was dismembered in less than two minutes.

Of course, the losses of the drones themselves would not be small.

But what made the enemy desperate was that although drones were destroyed every moment on the front line, drones were taking off and joining the fleet at all times behind Qi Yiming's fleet, waiting to launch an attack.

Although this scene made the captains of the alliance fleet feel desperate, what they didn't know was that the warehouses of nearly 100 transport ships in the transport fleet behind Qi Yiming were full of drones.

Even Wang Sen, who was in charge of transportation, didn't count how many drones he had brought this time, but at least there must be millions.

After all, drones are not big and can be folded together.

When Wang Sen was loading drones, he only said one sentence to the person in charge of loading: "Load them for me, fill the cargo holds of these 100 or so transport ships with drones in the shortest time."

With so many drone reserves, Qi Yiming was too lazy to calculate the loss of drones.

As long as a drone was lost on the front line, he would immediately activate another one to ensure that there were 100,000 drones active on the battlefield at any time.

Zhou Can was sweating profusely at this time. He was in no mood to curse Qi Yiming for being mean and using such a despicable means as a false surrender to delay time.

Because he was surrounded by the war damage reports flying like snowflakes.

It has only been five minutes since the drone launched the attack. The total number of warships of the Ninth Fleet led by Zhou Can and the other two fleets that were put together temporarily has dropped from nearly 5,000 to more than 4,000.

And the loss rate of warships is growing madly in geometric form.

If this continues, it will take less than half an hour for the three fleets he led to become space junk and float permanently under this starry sky.

Zhou Can slapped himself hard. Why did he want to capture the Xuefeng?

Now, if he doesn't run away, he will become the other side's prisoner in turn.

The huge casualties forced Zhou Can to issue an order to retreat.

So the pursuit between the two sides was staged again in the border star field of the Commercial Alliance.

But this time Zhou Can became the commander who escaped.

Along the way, there were always warships that took the initiative to hoist white flags, turn off their engines, and raise the muzzles of their warships high, waiting for Qi Yiming to send people to receive their warships.

At this time, Qi Yiming just wanted to quickly take back the lost Landu Galaxy and consolidate the defense line in the shortest time.

Besides, he didn't have enough manpower to accept those warships, so he just ordered the crews of the surrendered warships to eject themselves from the warships through the emergency escape device, and then Wang Sen, who was following behind, led people to raise these lifeboats and centrally manage and guard the people inside.

Zhou Can looked at the disorganized fleet and carefully experienced the mood of a crushing defeat.

Qi Yiming's pursuit of them lasted for three days. If it weren't for the need to recover the drones every time they activated the bridge jump, Zhou Can's fleet would have been eaten by Qi Yiming without even a slag left.

Soon Zhou Can led the fleet back to the Landu Galaxy.

Qi Yiming, who followed behind, didn't give them any chance to breathe. As soon as they left the jump, a large group of drones flew over the fleet and pounced on the fleet of the Commercial Alliance again.

At this time, there were only more than a thousand warships left around Zhou Can, most of which were subordinates of the Ninth Fleet. The fleet temporarily assembled by the Commercial Alliance was either sunk on the way to escape or raised the white flag to surrender.

The escape in the past few days made Zhou Can look extremely weak, and his black hair turned white overnight.

"Sir... what should we do now? The entire Ninth Fleet is willing to live and die with you." The adjutant looked at Zhou Can with a sad face.

Zhou Can smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Retreat, we have no chance of turning the tables."

"You signed a military order to the President at the beginning."

The adjutant wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhou Can's hand: "I can die, but you can't! The Ninth Fleet is the last fleet in the alliance that can fight, and we can't all be buried here."

"But..."

"No buts, I sacrificed the other two fleets to save you, quickly order all warships to evacuate the Lando galaxy, don't make any more futile struggles, we are completely defeated."

The adjutant could only nod silently and turned to convey Zhou Can's order to the ships.

At this time, Qi Yiming also slowed down the attack speed and did not pester the fleet that was about to flee.

Ye Lu was very puzzled by Qi Yiming's actions: "Why don't you go all out to take down this fleet?"

Qi Yiming looked at the alliance fleet that was activating the bridge jump and said: "According to intelligence, the Ninth Fleet is already the last powerful fleet of the Commercial Alliance. We can't take down this fleet here."

"Since it is the last powerful fleet, we can't let them go."

"If we take down this fleet now, the civil war in the Commercial Alliance may end soon, which will be very disadvantageous to us." Wang Shuhua explained for Qi Yiming.

Qi Yiming has now taken down the border star field of the Commercial Alliance close to the Ancestral Star Field. It takes time to digest the results of the war. If the destruction of the Ninth Fleet accelerates the progress of the civil war in the alliance, it is indeed not the best solution for Qi Yiming.
